Birthday Gifts for Children

Great 12 Year-old Birthday Gifts

A 12-year-old child would desire for his/her birthday another 12-year-old child to converse with, but because their parents cannot fulfill this desire, we recommend them to buy certain gifts that could make that boy/girl happy, at least for a little while.

1. It doesn't matter if we talk about a girl or a boy, these Momiji friendship dolls are suitable for any teenager. As their name says, these dolls represent friendship; they are adorable, collectible, each has its own name and can keep a secret. If you are at a point where you believe that you don't have a real friend to keep a secret, you can place that secret inside of this little doll. It has a compartment where to place your message. When this product is offered as a gift, the person that offers it writes a special something by hand to the recipient of this gift. In general, there are used words like: ‘To my best friend’or ‘May you have lots of friends in your lifetime’. A Momiji doll can be bought on Amazon for $17.

3. A personalized gift will always be received better than a usual one, because it is unique and shows the recipient you have thought of it. This is more than just going to a store, buying a present, packing it and offering it. It says that you really care about someone, especially when the personalization is connected to a heart shape, like it is the case of this personalized heart-shaped puzzle ‘I love you’ message. Although this product seems more suitable for lovers, you can also offer this potential gift to your little girl/boy. This puzzle includes 75 pieces and costs $14.95 (PersonalizationMall).

4. As the tote you see in the above image says, this ‘birthday girl’ pampering kit is great for a girl. Taking into account the image of that girl imprinted on the tote, which shows a very young girl, we can imagine this product will work for a 12-year-old girl as well. This product is $35.

Gifts For First Birthday

At the age of one, many children can already walk and talk, especially the girls. Having said that, you can consider products that are related to locomotion and vocabulary to offer as birthday gifts to a 1-year-old.

1. We start our short presentation of products which can be bought for a toddler by presenting a personalized CD, that contains songs with the name of the little child. A product like this can be bought from Personal Creations for the price of $34.99. In fact, many record companies offer for sale personalized CDs, that ensure a great experience for the child that listens to that CD. Just imagine the delight of your child when hearing his/her name mentioned more than 50 times during 30 minutes. These CDs feature the voices of famous characters, such as Disney princesses, Mickey and Minni, VegieTales, Barney, Elmo and others.

3. This product is not exactly for the child, but more for his/her parents. It is the tree wall decal growth chart, available from Arte Bebe, a company that has for sale only products for babies and small children. The point of this growth chart is that you can keep a track of the kids’ height simply by using this fabric wall decal. This colorful tree you see above this paragraph is covered with patterns reproduced from a large collection of vintage wallpapers. Because you will place this growth charts directly onto your wall, we also have to ensure you that it is removable, reusable and doesn't harm the wall where it is placed. It is made from adhesive fabric and works on any known non-porous flat surface.

4. A child that is 7 or 8 can solve difficult puzzles, sometimes even more rapidly than adults. To make sure that the mind of your little one functions and develops correctly, you can buy some unique and colorful puzzles, like the ones sold by The Land of Nod. The one we recommend in this article is the Charlie Harper animal and insect peg puzzle, a classic wooden peg puzzle, which believe it or not is drawn from The Golden Book of Biology, released in 1961. This puzzle is $12.95 and helps children develop their motor skills and also brain skills related to the memory and recognition of animals, shapes and colors.

Great First Birthday Gifts

It really doesn't matter if we are talking about the first birthday of a boy or of a girl, because the potential gifts presented here are suitable for both genders. They are in general offered by people coming to the birthday party of that little child, not by his/her parents.

2. A rocking horse is a good idea for an older child, but if the kid can walk at the age of 1, he/she can also ride this horsey. A good option is the product you can buy from Hayneedle for the price of $89.99, because it comes with sounds too. This is a plush horse, whose body is colored in brown, just like chocolate, and white. In order to hear the sounds made by the horsey, you have to press its ears.

4. A personalized gift will be always received better than an usual gift. If we discuss about a 1-year-old girl/boy, they will not notice if the gift is personalized with their name or not. But their parents will notice, so if you want to make a good impression, you can buy this 3-in-1 Zoobie blanket with pets. The one we recommend today is the ladybug blanket, available for $49.95 from PersonalizationMall.

Cute Gifts For A First Birthday Party

Because the first birthday of a child is a very important event, it is OK to offer the gifts you have prepared for the little one and also for his/her parents even before the happy event. And we will see several products in our article, that definitely must be offered before the birthday party of the little one.

This gift contains a plastic floormat, plastic flag banner for tray and a plastic bib. This great all-in-one kit will make the recipient to enjoy more his dishes.

5. At one-year-old, no child is aware of the cartoon characters that fill his/her existence. They may recognize them, but in general they cannot say if a certain character is made by Disney and another one by Pixar. Children tend to love everything that is animated, this explaining very well the love they have for characters that we don't really like, because they have ugly faces and colors.

However, the Sesame Street characters aren’t ugly at all, being recommended to all children that watch this TV show. These characters can be encountered as plushes, cookies, party balloons, decorations, party supplies and many others.

6. Speaking of balloons, here are some that we recommend for the birthday party of a boy: the Royal Blue #1 balloons for infants, available from Party Destination. For the price of $5.20, you will receive 6 balloons like this.

7. Another preferred character from a famous TV series is Winnie the Pooh, which can have, just like the rest of the animated characters, different shapes and purposes. The one we recommend here is the Winnie the Pooh cake topper ($11.45).

Good Birthday Gifts

Before thinking of buying some birthday gifts for a friend of yours or for a family member, you have to take into consideration the gender of that person and your relationship to him/her. Let's imagine that you want to buy some toys for little girls. I have found on the Internet several products that I believe you will enjoy, not mentioning that most of them can be designed by you in your very own home, without needing to have certain craftsmanship skills. Everyone can do this, if they have the necessary tools and time.

The first product that I have selected can be created by a man, to be more precise by the father of that little girl that will receive her name written on a train. This is the Personalized Wooden Name Train, manufactured by When I Was a Kid and sold for 5 GBP on notonthehighstreet.com. The manufacturer is proud to say that all name train orders are sent within 48 hours. You need to be at home when you receive this product, because the courier will need a signature from you. Anyway, you can see the terms and conditions for buying from this manufacturer, if you enter on the aforementioned site.

Now I would like to speak about this item. It is an unusual and superb, personalized gift, that comes with the option of adding flower carriages, great for girls. If you look at this product, it doesn't have any flowers designed on it; it is simply the color of the wood. The approximate dimensions are of 7 x 5 x 3 cm. You need to know that only the front and rear engine are included in the price. The letters are sold for 2 GBP each. So if the name of your little girl is Marie, you will pay 10 GBP for the letters and 5 GBP for the front and rear carriage, this totalizing 15 GBP, the final price of the product.

A little girl, no matter her age, likes bikes as well. Especially if the bike is a toy. We recommend this Personalized Balance Bike for a little girl that has everything. It is 86 GBP. The manufacturer in this case is I Love Toys. The recommended age of this product is between 3 and 6. This wooden bike has pneumatic tires and a height adjustable seat. In the front, you can attach or detach a useful bottle holder. This is the product your girl needs before getting the real thing. You have to be prepared for hours of fun and zooming around after buying this toy.

1. The first product is one that is more than personalized. Look at the above image and you will realize. It is named Your Child's Drawing Key Ring and is designed by Touch on Silver. Because it is so unique and made from silver, it is also expensive: 135 GBP. This is made to order and unfortunately, it is no longer available for Christmas delivery.

First Birthday Gifts For 1 Year Old

Here are several products that are very good for a one-year-old, no matter if we are talking about a little girl or a little boy. At the age of one, children start to learn the meaning of playing, this is why most of the products presented here are toys.

First Birthday Gifts For 1 Year Old (Source: ecx.images-amazon.com)

1. This is a product that is $21.15 on Amazon: the Melissa & Doug deluxe three little pigs play set soft baby toy. To be capable to play the right way with these three little pigs, your baby must know the story, although I bet he/she will not understand it. Anyway, buy this product and try to explain how the story goes by playing along with your child. At this young age, children cannot be attentive to you when you read them stories, this is why it is preferable to present them in an interactive way. It is another way of experiencing the story and children appreciate this more than they appreciate the story read by their mother, when they go to sleep. This set contains a full through chimney, self stick fabric closures, 3 squeaking pigs and a wolf. It is great for travel and figurines are easy to clean.

4. LeapFrog chat and count phone is designed in general for older children, but I believe you can buy it for your one-year-old too. It is a device that allows your little one to push a button and to start listening to music. Not only this, but the little baby can sing along to songs, related to counting and phone routines. So you will have your little girl/boy chatting on your smartphone in less than 6 months, if you keep on using this LeapFrog gadget. It has 2.4 x 6 x 10.5″ and weighs 9.6 pounds.

Birthday Gifts For Six Year Old Girl

A six-year-old girl can be easily satisfied with toys and sweets for her birthday. We will present several of them in this article, but we will start with something that will allow her mother to make her little girl eat easier.

Birthday Gifts For Six Year Old Girl (Source: gadgets.co.uk)

1. A child is difficult to force to eat. If she doesn't like the food, she will not eat it. So you have to use all sorts of tricks in order to make her feel that the food is not as she thinks, but way better. You can try to create various shapes and add more flavors to make the food smell better. But in most of the cases, these are not that healthy for the human body, but for bacteria and other microbes that normally live in our body. And because we don't want them to grow and we have to eat healthy, you have to use other tricks. Like using for example funny plates and glasses. In this article, we will present the food face plates; a single plate like this is 9.95 GBP. You probably know the famous phrase said by a parent to his child: “Stop playing with your food!” Well, this is exactly what the manufacturer of this product wants your child to do. As you can see, the plate has a face without hair, beard, hat and in the next image you see a man with a hat made from beans, some hair made from spaghetti, a beard from scrambled eggs and so on; the possibilities are endless. With a product like this, your dinner can get cold easy, so be sure that you will not let this happen.

2. The second product is a personalized sweetie jar; it can be personalized according to the occasion for which it is bought, by writing the name of your recipient and a short message. A massive jar of sweeties is always a good reason to celebrate. These jars are available in large and small sizes and have different prices as well: a large label is 24.95 GBP and a small label is 16.95 GBP. The occasion message, such as for example “Happy Birthday” can have maximum 30 characters, including spaces. The first name of the recipient can have up to 15 characters, including spaces and the personal message, up to 70 characters (spaces included).

Creative 1yr Old Birthday Gifts

For a one-year-old, you have the possibility of buying all sorts of products, even though not all of them are dedicated to the little one. In fact, most of them are destined to his/her parents.

Creative 1yr Old Birthday Gifts (Source: cache.gifts.com)

1. For the first birthday of a kid, I recommend to buy a video camcorder. This can be used by older children as well. A product like this can be found on Amazon and has a price of $54.97. The product taken into consideration by myself is the Toy Story Flix Jr camcorder, but there are many other products just like this. With a camcorder you will never miss an opportunity to watch a movie with your little one. A movie where the characters are obviously cartoon characters, that is. A product like this can be used even by your little girl/boy, because it is made from rubber. I don't know if you can tell, but this is a really small product destined to small hands. The package includes besides the camcorder, an USB cable and a quick start guide.

2. Introducing LeapPad, a personalized learning tablet created for children. Even though it is recommended for children aged around 4, I believe this is very good to be used with small children as well. This product can be found, as the previous one, on Amazon and has the price of $194.20. It includes an incorporated camera and a video recorder. Also, it contains more than 100 games that develop the creativity of your little one. I acknowledge that not all the games can be played by a one-year-old child, but some of them can. And if you don't take care of the brain of your little one, in time he/she will develop just like any other child. You must take ahead of others. There are voices saying that the best period for a child to start learning to count and read is around 7. I disagree; if your child is interested in letters and numbers, you should let him learn more about them. And who knows, maybe at the age of 4 he will be capable of performing calculations and reading books without your help.

Creative 1yr Old Birthday Gifts (Source: cache.gifts.com)

3. Another thing that is appreciated by children, besides games, is music. A personalized CD where their name is heard thanks to a personalized song is a great gift for a child. The name of the kid is mentioned for more than 50 times during 30 minutes. These items cannot be gift boxed. You can buy them from Personal Creations for $34.99. And if you use the GIFTSCOM15 code, you will receive a discount of 15%.
